4 years agoMilwaukee Brewers utility player Luis Urias hit seventh in the order and played second base in his season debut Monday against Minnesota. He singled and scored a run in his first game. It will take more than one game to figure out just how frequently Urias will be in the lineup for his new team, but the fact that he's starting immediately upon being activated is a good sign. He'll push regular second baseman Keston Hiura to the designated hitter spot, an arrangement the Brewers could potentially use quite frequently until Ryan Braun (finger) returns from the injured list. He has plus contact skills, earning a 65 future hit grade on the 20-80 scouting scale from the FanGraphs prospect team and a 70-grade from Baseball Savant. If he can maintain regular playing time in Milwaukee, he's worth a stash/roster spot in deeper mixed leagues. He's even more valuable in keeper/dynasty league formats.--James Stokke
